    Question HPOP Gear Lash - Too TIGHT??

    2004 6.0 F350 185k miles Does anyone here have experience with this? Am I being paranoid? I'm replacing the original HPOP with one of the Diesel Site pumps purchased directly from them. It mounts up perfect with no issue. The gears also seem to mesh perfect, but maybe too perfect -- meaning...

    Question Fuel Return Line O-Ring @ Bowl

    Anyone happen to know if there is a part number or the specific size of the o-ring that goes on the end of the fuel return line inside the fitting at the filter bowl? Mine has started to leak and I really don't want to buy the whole kit just for the one o-ring. (I did the blue spring upgrade...

    Question Edge CTS Insight Overhead Pod

    Next question... I got the Insight CTS installed (went with the dash pod for now. The diag shows a code for "no reading from the exhaust backpressure sensor". Do all 6.0s have one?

    Question Edge CTS Insight Overhead Pod

    I'm adding the Edge Insight CTS and would really prefer the overhead mount, but... I have a sunroof and the stock overhead console appears to be mounted much closer to the windshield than the ones I see pictured on the web without a sunroof. Maybe I'm not seeing it right. My question is...

    Help Needed New PCM, Now have surging accelleration

    Need some help here. I think my shop is clueless. It's a long story to how I got here, so let me cut to the chase with what's going on currently and then explain more if needed. It's got 150k on it and ALOT of work done on it in the past. Had a new PCM & instrument cluster installed to...

    So... Where is this plug?

    Tow/Haul Light

    Some time ago my tow/haul light stopped coming on when I hit the button. I figured it was just a burned out bulb since the mode seems to work as it always had. However, I put the dash in test mode the other day (holding the odo button while turning the key) and to my surprise the Tow/Haul light...

    Help Needed Dash went crazy & no power!!

    Had batts tested in isolation and the alt tested at 2 different places this afternoon. All tested fine, so this is really frustrating. I have been through 4 alternators and 3 sets of batteries overall. I have no confidence in this truck until I can find some concrete evidence of the causes & get...

    Question Help needed... Boiling battery!

    Well... So I took it to AZ & O'reilly this evening. Both places tested both batts (isolated from each other of course) and the alternator. It passed tests at both places. It's definitely not overcharging... if anything it's a little undercharging at 13.8v. The batts were fully charged, so it's...

    Help Needed Dash went crazy & no power!!

    So some time has passed since we first had this problem. I took it to PowerStroke Magic and they looked at everything. Test drove etc etc. Left it for 2 days & they did put some miles on it testing. No codes were found, alternator & batts tested good & they didn't see any chafing or grounding...

    Question Help needed... Boiling battery!

    So I took both batteries to AZ & had them tested. They found the one that was boiling to be bad & replaced it free of charge. The other battery was fine. I noticed the starter spinning much better after installing them, so I think that problem is solved. Now I have a new question... maybe 2...

    Question Help needed... Boiling battery!

    I did replace them as a pair originally, but the driver side got weak during the unusually cold winter we had here, found it had a dead cell, and got it replaced. (First Duralost Gold I've to ever have exchanged prematurely.) That's why their not the same age. I figured less than a year apart in...

    Question Help needed... Boiling battery!

    What would be the prime suspect causing this? Can it just be an internal short in the battery? Over charging? Short in the cables? The truck has a single alternator system. Here's what happened... I had driven it for about 300 miles today with several stops. Never had any issues cranking or...

    Help Needed Dash went crazy & no power!!

    Thanks for the pointers, but... geez... I hate electrical gremlins. I guess I'll pull the instrument cluster this weekend to check grounds etc. Who knows maybe it will be an obvious bad connection, but I doubt it since we drove for so many miles over the rough roads in La.

    Help Needed Dash went crazy & no power!!

    Well... Here's an update... After talking to my wife more, I think the loss of power was her imagination. I took it to Powerstroke Magic last week and had it checked out. They test drove it, checked connections, & checked the codes, but could not recreate the problem or figure out what caused...

    Help Needed Dash went crazy & no power!!

    Would this also cause the drastic loss of power?? (no accelleration) It runs smooth, but has no power... mash the pedal & it hardly wants to accelerate.

    Help Needed Dash went crazy & no power!!

    Batteries & alternator are less than 6 months old. (Alternator went bad & found one battery weak back then & replaced them both.) Had them tested at AutoZone on the way home when this happened and all tested fine. Maybe the biggest help would be anyone here on the far north side of Houston...

    Help Needed Dash went crazy & no power!!

    Need some help here... Have not have any issues in a long time... Truck has been running fine. Yesterday, without warning, while driving... All the dash gauges dropped to "zero" and then pegged out to the high end a few times. The indicator lights also flashed. Then every thing went back to...

    A/C Orifice Mod?

    I'm referring to the mod on PowerStrokeHelp.com where he describes changinf the orifice tube to get better (colder) A/C performance. But... He doesn't really mention what models this will work on. Is this mod valid for my 2004 6.0L ?? It's HOT as heck here in Houston already and I've...

    Cool Duals

    Got a muffler delete pipe made at Ripleys Muffler & Brake in Spring, TX for $40. Deleted the muffler last night. The sound is great. Good turbo whine and it howls when you mash the pedal, but it's not loud enough to upset neighbors when just rolling through the hood. I think the duals have a...

    Cool Duals

    Well... I finally broke down and got a 4" exhaust. I went with Magnaflow SS Cool Duals 17977. I found them on Amazon for $570. This kit eliminates the cat converter (one of my goals). I thought I'd post a quick note because tackling it myself saved me about $300. It took me and a buddy about 5...

    Question Tow/Haul Indicator Light

    Well... Thanks for looking. I guess I'll just have to pull it first. It was worth a shot!

    04 Powerstroke Straight Pipe?

    I'll be finding out how it sounds personally real soon. My 04 is a 6.0 and it's getting a new Maganflow exhaust tomorrow. I just had to replace my turbo. I figure a free-flowing exhaust is worth the cost to extend the life of the turbo and the rest. Mine has a cat & I'm removing it for sure...

    Question Tow/Haul Indicator Light

    Well... I thought it was an easy question.

    Question Tow/Haul Indicator Light

    OK... This is a simple question... My tow/haul mode is working, but the indicator light is not coming on anymore. Before I pull the dash apart... Is it lit with a simple bulb? Anyone happen to know the bulb# so I can have it in hand when I open it up this weekend?
